Mental Health Advocates Call On ABC-TV to Drop Halloween Episode

Join us and the National Alliance on Mental Illness in calling on ABC-TV to not re-air the hit comedy show Modern Family’s Halloween special, “AwesomeLand.” The episode, which originally aired last year, perpetuates stigma toward mental illness and reinforces inaccurate negative associations with the mentally ill.

Read the full press release from NAMI here.

Let ABC know that their practice of misrepresenting mental illness is wrong by using #unmodernfamily on facebook and twitter, or by asking ABC-TV here in Vermont to drop the episode from Wednesday (tomorrow) night’s lineup.
